This research presents a case study focusing on the translation strategies employed in rendering humour from Japanese into Spanish in the animated film Crayon Shin-chan: Ankoku Tamatama Daitsuiseki. The study also seeks to determine whether the original humour is maintained or compromised in the Spanish version. To this end, humorous lines and situations identified in the source text were systematically compared with their counterparts in the target text. Due to the scope of the study, the analysis was restricted to the first 50 humorous instances. Each instance was then analysed to determine the translation strategies employed and to explore the reasons why it could be considered humorous. The collected data were categorised by strategy, allowing for a quantitative analysis of their frequency and enabling broader conclusions about the translators’ overall approach. The findings suggest that, in most cases, the humour is successfully conveyed in the Spanish version, with relatively few instances in which it is lost. Standard translation emerged as the most commonly used strategy (36%), followed by paraphrasing (24%). A significant proportion of examples (38%) involved the use of multiple strategies, such as combinations of substitution/standard translation or omission/paraphrase. The study also concludes that the type of humour tends to remain consistent between the original Japanese and the Spanish versions in the majority of the cases analysed.
